What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Every laugh, hug, conversation, and adventure reminds me how lucky I am to be a dad. To watch my kid grow into the people they’re meant to be. Being there for the big moments, the little moments, the lessons, the laughs, and even the challenges. Knowing I get to guide him, support him, and love him unconditionally is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. The goal isn’t to make him like me it’s to help him become the best version of themselves.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
Because a father is the one man who truly wants his child to become better than he ever was, because my own father was that for me until he passed, and on. I want Mateo to dream bigger, reach higher, and become the best version of himself. I’ll be there to celebrate every success, but I’ll also stand beside him through every failure, helping him learn, grow, and keep moving forward. Life won’t always be easy, but I want him to always know that, no matter what comes, “dada” will be in his corner.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would use the $25,000 to create both immediate stability and a better future for Mateo. I’d pay down debt, giving us more financial freedom and reducing the stress that comes with it. Then I’d invest the remainder specifically for Mateo’s future. Whether he uses it for college, a trade, his first home, or starting a business, I want this money to give him opportunities and a foundation that will help him build the life he wants.
